I am planning to make my jump back into college after a 2 year layoff due to stress taking a profound toll on me. I remember the worst part about college was that everything was all about listening. I wear 2 hearing aids and read lips, but usually only get about 50% or less of what a person says in a typical conversation, and have to make assumptions to fill in the missing gap of what I didnt hear. Most of the time, I stood out to be a severe fool for guessing the other <50% of what somebody said.
To make a very long story short, I want to move to the Dominican Republic and attend online college courses while living in the DR. Why I want to move to the DR, is that I discovered that there is much less stress being deaf and much less of a language barrier.
Those of you with experience on taking online college courses, how did it turn out to be for you as far as being deaf?
You didnt have to hear or use the phone did you?
Please share experiences and advices as far as getting a college degree online.
Thanks.
